"Ah, Julian...!"
Bridget slumped down in the chair beside her.
Tears poured down her face.
"Doctor...! Doctors."
Millea hurriedly left to call the doctor.
She grabbed Julian's hand with trembling hands.
"Julian, are you sober? Yes? Tell me, are you sober? Can you recognize me?"
"I, get some water."
As he thirsted for water, Julian choked his throat, and he cleared his voice a few times before looking up at her.
"Bridget..."
"Yes, Julian. I'm here."
Julian wanted to take a closer look at Bridget.
However, his vision was strangely blurred.
His eyes were so sensitive that it was hard to open them straight, as if he hadn't seen the light for a very long time.
How long did he sleep?
He didn't have one or two questions.
The first thing Julian asked was the one.
"Bridget, what did I do wrong...?"
That was why Bridget was angry with him.
However, Bridget didn't tell him why, and she said the wrong thing.
"Julian... You've really regained consciousness!"
Bridget fell on top of Julian.
It seemed that all the pain in her heart was being rewarded.
Julian ran his hand around Bridget's cheek, crying with hot tears.
He don't know what the situation was, but he felt like he had to apologize right away.
"I'm sorry."
"No, I don't. No..."
"I'm sorry I made you angry"
"I'm not angry."
Julian raised his arms and hugged Bridget tightly.
Bridget looked up.
"What if it hurts? Are you sick?"
Bridget asked, looking down at Julian.
Julian said he felt refreshed as if he had just slept soundly, but he stopped when he tried to tell her that the place where she hit him hurt.
He paused as he stroked Brigitte's cheek.
"Bridget...Eyes!"
Bridget's red eyes came into view.
Julian felt his chest sink and tried to pull himself up.
Bridget stopped him.
"You can't wake up so suddenly, because you've been lying down for too long..."
Julian's body didn't matter.
He managed to get to his feet.
"Ugh."
He felt a dizzying pain in his abdomen.
Julian remembered that he had stabbed himself with his sword.
Speaking of which, he went on a rampage and attacked Bridget.
His memory was sparse.
Just then, a doctor came running.
"You must not get up suddenly, Your Majesty."
His doctor said the same thing as Bridget.
"The wound looks like it's healed, but it's not fully healed yet, so there must be pain. It was such a big wound..."
"Look. You shouldn't have woken up."
Julian nervously struck at the hands that tried to push him to his knees.
"Bridget."
His gaze was only on Bridget's red eyes.
Why did those hateful red eyes move on to Bridgey? How to?
The inhibition collapsed.
"Why do your eyes... Why!"
"Calm down, Julian. I'll explain everything."
Bridget smiled reassuringly.
***
While the doctors checked and treated Julian, Bridget calmed him down.
Only when everything was sorted out did Bridget bite the people and sit down across from Julian.
It was like a dream to be facing him when he woke up like this.
"The curse has been transferred to me."
Bridget's words made Julian shudder in agony
"Oh, I didn't make you deal with the Black Knight!"
"No, I'm fine, Julian."
"It's not going to be okay!"
A curse that ate away at his life.
He transferred it to Bridget and shamelessly came back to life and breathed.
"I should have hugged it and died."
Julian blamed himself.
"You don't know if it's okay for the first time. But...!"
"Julian, I'm really fine."
Bridget knew Julian wouldn't believe her.
So she had someone to bring someone to fetch him.
Just in time, Anna brought her into the bedroom.
"Welcome, Seraphina."
Seraphina fumbled inside, with Anna's help.
Julian didn't want to see her telling him bad prophecies.
The prophet was only a warning of what would happen in the future, but he was angry that her words had come true.
"What kind of beggars are you trying to prophesy to me again? How much more miserable will I have to be satisfied?"
Julian sarcastically scolded Seraphina.
Bridget stopped him.
"Seraphina came at my request. She came to me while you were asleep. Seraphina, tell him directly. The things you said to me."
Seraphina was not offended or flinched by Julian's angry voice.
She understood Julian's despair.
She smiled softly and sang in a low voice.
"The curse of wandering has gone to the righteous one. The ship that was floating freely in the open sea finally met the captain who tamed it. Bridget, she are the coachman who holds the reins of the colt."
"Do you mean I can control the curse?"
"Mighty power is a curse when you can't control it, but it's a good ability if you can control it. It's not a curse anymore. We should call it power, not a shadow curse."
Seraphina repeated with force.
"You are the master of shadow power."
Julian, who had been listening in silence, swallowed dryly.
He asked in a trembling voice.
"Cursed... Does that mean Bridget won't suffer from the curse?"
"It will happen."
"Is there no danger to life?"
"She's going to handle her abilities well."
Julian stumbled in relief. It was because he was nervous.
Fortunately, he didn't fall because he was sitting on the bed.
Bridget patted Julian's back.
"Look. I told you I'd be fine."
Bridget thanked Seraphina and tried to let her go.
But Julian called her over.
"Wait."
"Your Majesty."
When he called Seraphina to stop, Julian hesitated.
Seraphina chuckled.
Even if she don't listen, she know what ymhe want to ask.
"The baby will be healthy."
Bridget looked at Seraphina and Julian alternately, startled.
It wasn't surprising that Seraphina knew she was pregnant, but it was surprising that Julian knew.
'How...?'
She never told him when she woke up.
Seraphina continued.
"Also, the Shadow ability will no longer be inherited."
Then she comforted Julian with a warm voice.
"The fate of you and this land has changed. Please rest assured and rejoice. The whole country will be filled with joy."
Seraphina said that and went outside with Anna's help.
Bridget turned to Julian.
"How did you know?"
But Julian did not answer.
He simply grabbed Bridget's hand and held her in his arms.
Bridget knew Julian was crying.
"I told you to be happy, but why are you crying?"
Bridget's voice was also filled with tears.
"Rejoice."
Julian buried his head in Bridget's shoulder
"It's the happiest day of my life."
"You crying."
The two of them were now overwhelmed with emotion and emotion.
"Bridget."
Julian lifted his head and wrapped his arms around Bridget's cheek.
Her warmth. Tear sensation of soft cheeks.
They were things that could be enjoyed because they were alive.
When she told Julian to cry, Bridget cried with him.
"I thought you were really leaving me."
"I'm sorry to make you worry."
"Nope. I'm awake, so that's fine."
"Yes."
It didn't matter what she had been through.
Bridget fiddled with Julian's hands, groping his arm and face.
It was thrilling that he was waking up, looking at her, and holding on to her with his will.
How much she dreamed of this moment.
Now, the two hugged each other with full joy that they were safe.
Bridget sighed and opened her eyes.
She quickly pressed Julian's hand to her belly.
"Can you feel it?"
Soon, Julian looked at her with a face that was no different from Bridget's.
It was the beginning.
"This is the first time I've seen anything like this. I think the baby is happy that you woke up."
Bridget laughed and cried."..."
Julian was speechless.
How can he express this indescribable feeling?
He didn't think he'd be able to enjoy this kind of thing.
Is this really reality?
At that moment, he felt another movement in his fingertips.
Julian felt a shiver all over his body.
"God."
Julian thanked God for giving him life for the first time.
He was overwhelmed with emotion.
He thought it was a life full of misery and pain.
However, happy moments exist in any life.
It was truly the sweet joy of life.
That's how I became a villain (END)
